IGN: NCAA 14 - A More Mature Physics Engine, A Less Mature Interview

I'm fine with not seeing formation. What SHOULDN'T happen is the personnel shouldn't tell you that the offense is about to come out in Wildcat when the first player on the list is a RB and the QB is still on the field.

When the Eff does a defense know what the formation is going to be in the huddle?

Not in any football game that I've ever played or watch, both in real life and virtually.

again, you can not compare a video game to real life in as many ways as you would like to. The point i am making is valid when you play a dumb ass who has 2 RBs and a tight end but still comes out in 5 wide. Thats bogus and shouldnt be a surprise.or the idiot with a created playbook and every formation is labeled "punt"

in real life a team see's the personel package and can counter accordingly with a good idea what was intended in the first place.

So, in the first sentence, you say you can't compare real life to a video game and in the last sentence, you say what happens in real life?

And while it's not likely, a team can put 3 TEs and 2 FBs on the field and call 5 wide if that's what they want to do and they aren't obligated to inform the opposition that it's their intention to come out in a passing set.

The admins should consider adding a new emoticon. This way we could just throw this out and not have to try to understand that which is RAM.

[JBHuskers]

That is creepy.

I said "in as many ways as you would like" = comparisons to real world

you cant compare limited preset virtual logic to real world critical thought. And when it comes to online, its a factor dishonest people use as an advantage.

Here's a thought:

If you want to play SIM football, play with SIM players. The game shouldn't have to give away a matchup advantage so you can play the alignment right. Football's a guessing game.

With the matchups you are describing, even in a 4-3 defense you should match well. Personnel is always more important than alignment. There's the ability to base-align via defensive shift on every play.

I don't get it. What's the face? I've been trying to avoid the question but I must know the significance now

I personally don't see a problem with this - in real life if a team has the talent to put 3 TEs and 2 FBs on the field (as long as that is their designated position) and threaten the defense, let them throw them out there. As a defensive playcaller I shouldn't know what formation they are coming out in, I'm calling my defense based on the personnel on the field. Now, if this a OD game I should know my opponents personnel prior to starting the game and have somewhat of a knowledge on his formations and will call my defense accordingly.

[JeffHCross]

Not to mention, if my opponent calls five wide with TEs and RBs, and it's somehow causing me difficulty, I'm going to counter with a defensive scheme change pretty quickly. That's the chess match of football strategy. If I counter and they keep doing the same thing, chances are pretty good that I'll win.
